[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jerm42991:
I just ordered my new Note 10.1 2014 and this is my first android device and my first tablet. I was looking for any general advice, tips, tricks with android in general but also with this tablet specifically.

Any help on must have apps(both productivity and game wise), any important settings to adjust when I get the tablet, any features that may be less obvious then say air command, ect

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jack880:
Hi. If you want to use it to take notes, there is no app that comes close to LectureNotes. Takes a while to set up - there are loads of settings - but well worth it once it's done. So much more powerful and flexible than any other app for the same purpose.

Unfortunately it sometimes runs slower on the 2014 note than the old one, but the dev is excellent and I'm sure will get it sorted out. It only seems slow when zooming in and using multi window.

Thanks!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
The app is now live on Google Play.

Thanks to all my beta testers for helping me iron out the wrinkles. I will still post beta versions here when I have new features that need testing.

​

Tired of entering your password all the time? SkipLock lets you skip past the lock screen when you're connected to a designated wifi or bluetooth device. When you're at home or in your car, your phone is safe and you don't need to be typing in that damn password all the time. When you're connected to your wifi network, or any bluetooth device, you can go straight to the home screen when you press the power button. You can even have it keep the phone unlocked while you're connected to a bluetooth keychain or headset. As soon as the phone gets out of range, it locks.

This is a public beta. SkipLock is a complete rewrite of Unlock With WiFi. Why rewrite it? This blog post explains the reasoning behind it.

Here are the new features in SkipLock:

Pattern and face unlock supported on rooted devices

Completely redesigned Android 4+ user interface

No background service = less memory usage and more reliable

No status bar icon required (but it’s still an option). Tray-only notifications also an option.

If you have notifications enabled, you can now tap the notification to instantly lock the device

Even more cool stuff coming later

Many of the existing features from Unlock With WiFi will also be in the new app. Some of them are:

Automatically turn off wifi when leaving home

Automatically turn on/off bluetooth

Automatically turn on/off sync

WidgetLocker integration

Lock delay has been removed because Android 4+ supports it natively now

If you have a bug to report, press Bug Report in the app's menu. This will send me some diagnostic information that will help me figure out what's wrong. This is the quickest way to get a response. You may post more general questions in this thread, and I will try to answer them, but bug reports sent directly to me take precedence.

SkipLock requires Android 4.0 or above. Root is required for patterns and face unlock. Only PINs and passwords are supported without root.

SkipLock FAQ

The FAQ is now being maintained on my website.

Crashes on startup on CM 10.2 M1 on HTC One :(
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
sorry about that! it is the first release of the beta, so please bear with me. can you email me the log file? it's at /sdcard/SkipLock.log. send it to support at benhirashima dot you know what.
[Android Apps and Games] Bionic22:
Crashes

This seems like a really great and useful app. However I can't seem to access it. Every time I click on the app it just crashes.

Running Droid Bionic with Jelly Bean [4.1.2]
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
sorry, corrupted apk file! i just uploaded a new one that works.
[Android Apps and Games] D3_:
Seems to work fine on my Nexus 5.

Only tested the WiFi setting though, not bluetooth.

Are there any plans to unlock with NFC too? I should be getting an NFC ring soon and I'd love for it to work with that, so when I grab my phone there's no PIN/password but when others get hold of it it requires a PIN/password.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
i would love to do that too, but unfortunately, the NFC reader is not active unless the phone is already awake and unlocked. that goes for most phones anyway. obviously, there are some exceptions, like the moto x.
[Android Apps and Games] D3_:
True, but there are plenty of custom ROMs and even xposed modules which allow you to enable NFC with the screen off or with the screen on and the phone locked.

Still, if it's not something you're willing to add, there's nothing I can do to change that. The app works great as it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
hmm, that's interesting. maybe i'll look into it when i get a chance.
[Android Apps and Games] MajorGaz:
Installs now.

Will give it a whack when i get home :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bionic22:
It works!

My phone was locked and by adding my WiFi network as an exception, the phone was automatically unlocked.

I'll test it out tomorrow when I leave my house and when I get back to see if it re-locks when i leave my wifi network/unlocks itself upon reaching my wifi network.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
great! thanks for the feedback. try to test it with bluetooth too, if you can.
[Android Apps and Games] Criminal23:
Also work on my SGS3 Omega v51 4.3
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Is this time limited?
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 2736178:
I don't know how you did it, but this works on stock rooted HTC One with pattern lock! Your previous app and some other apps do not, but this one works perfectly! When does this beta expire?

Take my money! :)

Side note: does not work on nexus7 with CM 10.2 (4.3) pattern always shows even when skiplock notification says its unlocked. Going to submit report from app

Thanks for this! I have missed this function since using HTC One. And will use this on my Nexus 5 when it arrives too
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
Yes, the S3 supports nfc from the lockscreen on some ROMs
[Android Apps and Games] rob4711:
My Feedback

Thank you for this great little software. You can also achieve this with software like lama or tasker. But I dont need such big toolkits. So your app fits perfectly on my device.

Here are my thoughts:

* starting an app when a network is in reach - great for car-users to start their favorite mp3-player etc.

* simple geofencing to re enable wifi/bluetooth

* turning on/off different system profiles (so you dont have to take care of all settings...it´s all build into the os)

Keep on coding!
[Android Apps and Games] ali_ge:
working great on note 2 4.3 keep it up bro!
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
thanks for the feedback, guys. good to hear it's working! for those who asked, yes it's time limited. the current version will expire at the end of november, but if i feel that more testing is necessary, i will update the app and extend the time limit.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
WHY DOSN'T Activesync work?????

I can put up with Activesync not working under VPC on my Mac but I CANNOT put up with it not Activesyncing with a brand new 2 month old IBM laptop running XP Pro and all the latest patches.

Is it the phone that is at fault or Microsoft or a combination?????

My old PDA2K Activesyncs fine on BOTH VPC and the IBM so why not this device?

Anyone PLEASE HELP ME.......

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jorgee:
Are you using ActiveSync v.4.1?

If it is a Windows Mobile 5 device (Wizard, Universal) instead of a Windows Mobile 2003SE Device, you need a minimum version 4.1 of ActiveSync
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Yup it is a Wizard and I am using AS 4.1.

I have tried Firewall on, off, VPN on, off.

I have de-installed and re-installed 4.1.

Still NOTHING.

The Laptop see's new hardware, says it has installed okay and then AS does NOTHING.!!!!!!!!

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] akash84:
in my case it was the firewall

you sure both your windows and software firewall is off?

also check in network connections that your phone network connection is connected

what happens in activesync... errors? does it display its trying to sync ? just "it is not syncing" doesnt help :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] avocaz:
If the laptop sees the device as new hardware and not the actual device it means that you do not have active Synch 4.1 or that the installation was borked . because 4.1 includes the drivers for this phone to be recognized by windows.. so if you had 4.1 it would show your phone name and then it might not have worked , but not the way you are describing it now.

Also you might wanna put up a bit more objective title when posting something like this if you want psotive feedback instead of flamez...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] akash84:
very good point avocaz

totally missed the point that it does detect but possibly does not install which would be down the active sync 4.1 not being there
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
1. Certainly I turned off the Windows Firewall, don't know about any other Firewall. HOWEVER the fact my PDA2K can connect surely rules out a Firewall problem?

2. Don't know how to do this? I am a Mac user and am using XP JUST to sync my phone.

3. Nothing happens in Activesync. I get the normal, bing bong chime. but the AS icon does not turn green or open.

If I manually open AS and tellit to cennect it cannot find an attached PDA.

On the other hand if I attach my PDA2K I get the bing bong, the icon turns green, AS opens fine.

Is that clearer?

Is there any more info you need?

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
But surely the fact that when I connect my PDA2K AS 4.1 opens and works indicates it IS there and working?

If I check its version it says 4.1?

AS 4.1 is the first instal of AS on this machine, never had an earlier version on it.

Sorry about the title but I guessed I would at least get some response with it. :lol:

I am pulling my hair out here and don't want to return the phone but without a computer connection it is totally useless to me.

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] universaldoc:
Its not your desktop. Its the AS client on the device itself that causes these problems. Apparently, the next ROM Update is supposed to fix all AS issues. Just hold on till mid-Jan.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Sounds reasonable HOWEVER if I cannot get the damn thing to connect to a PC I am never going to be able to laod the new rom to fix the problem it won't connect to a pc, so I won't be able to connect ot a PC ...........

I am losing it big time... :cry:

How would I install the update without a PC connection?

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] knowsleyroader:
Use the wifi to download the rom ? Sorry your having problems but this phone definately doesnt stink. Havent put mine down since Christmas day .... the wife is definately not pleased. She keeps giving it daggers :lol:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Okay

My FIRST bit of success.

I found out my laptop has a IRD port and the phone HAS connected via this so it is most certainly a USB issue.

Now the question is can a rom update be done of IRD or does it need to be the USB connection?

Robin

PS WiFI download would not help as the rom needs to be loaded FROM a PC.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] B744:
Just a thought, but are you connecting via a usb hub?

Best not to, and I find always using the same usb socket also helps...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rjanusz:
Had the same problem.

What helped me is: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/support/pocketpc/tshoot/activesync/default.asp

Good luck,

Radek
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] universaldoc:
DO NOT INSTALL ROM UPDATE VIA IR.

It should be done via USB ONLY. Thats one of the main instructions in the ROM update page that pops up on executing the RU file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] S0NIC:
I had problems because of the ports. AS4.X needs a hand full of ports to communicate with the PPC, in my case TCP Port 990 was already in use.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
No, I am connecting dirtectly to the laptop.

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
HOw do I check this, I am not very PC Literate.

I am much more used to a Mac where things normally 'just work' :?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
I have just noticed a couple of things following some of the Microsoft trouble shooting guide.

If I have AS open on the KJAM it shows the spinning green button and that it is trying to connect, still nothing on the PC end.

HOWEVER what I did notice on the PC end in Device Manager is that a Windows mobile-based device appears under netowrk connectors.

So SOME KIND of connection IS happening.

Robin

PS Many thanks for being a sounding board for me and your helpful ideas, it is very much appreciated, I just wish I was making more progress.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Let me set the record straight.

This phone does NOT stink. The more I use it the more I like it.

Certainly it is a big improvement over my PDA2K in size and usability.

HOWEVER I still cannot get it to connect to my laptop and I am getting so frustrated cause its the last thing left for me before I really start to LIKE this phone..............

Any more ideas out there because I have tried everything I can think of with no luck at all except via IRDA.

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ch34:
Robster have you uninstalled ActiveSync completely then reinstalled after rebooting your laptop in between?

I had problems until I removed ActiveSync completely then installed 4.1 from scratch.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] knowsleyroader:
I would remove activesync and reboot and then re install and then plug in your device.

I would also check there arnt any updated usb drivers for your laptop. It could be a problem with the laptop hardware/drivers ( even if other devices work doesnt mean everything is a ok).

Maybe its even worth trying plugging in some other usb device then removing it and then plug in your wizard.

Beyond that maybe try it on someone elses puter to check you dont have a faulty wizard / usb lead.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Okay.

Removed 4.1

Rebooted.

Installed 4.1

Rebooted.

NOTHING.

I have tried different cable with no success.

I will try with a computer at work on Tuesday............ but am not hopeful.

Damn damn damn.....

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
Try deleting Activesync profiles stored on your PC at:

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Aplication data\Microsoft\Activesync\profiles.

Then reconnect your XDA, right click on the Activesync icon in the tooltray and choose connection settings. thenclick "get connected"
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] knowsleyroader:
Well if it doesnt connect at work m8 it sounds like it needs to be returned.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] avocaz:
Agreed , if you get the same error on different machines the issue is clearly located in the phone ,

another thing you might try to see where the problem is located : Connect the phone WITHOUT ActiveSynch installed , perhaps the Windows New Hardware Wizard's behaviour can give any clue as to what is causing this issue....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Interesting.

There is no Activesync folder under Microsoft folder?

Is this because I de-installed and have never been able to make a connection with my laptop?

RObin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PayableOnDeath:
do you have a network card on the laptop?

if so Start > Control Panel > Network Connections

in the list you should see your network card and the wizard( if connected )

Right click on your network card and click disable

check that the wizard connection is not firewalled (wizard will need to pluged in for this)

Then unplug and re-connect the wizard

AS should pick it up now

sometimes with mine if pluging and unpluging the phone dont work then i have to disable my network card and it connects right away

this is due to the WM5 and AS been TCP/IP Based, which has really made a mess of my home network

i have my router as the DHCP server giving everying an ip,etc

AS 4.1 also acts as a DHCP server for giving the phone an ip when connected my other pc's on the network started using AS to get ip's from :(

so now I given all my pcs an ip address, dns ips, etc so now my network is ok

just AS not liking to conect when my network card is enabled, I think AS is trying to connect to the phone thou my network card and not the usb cable, which is why it takes loads of goes or disabling network card to connect

so well done M$ for another f**k up with your software :P

:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I tried my Desktop at work running W2000 and this recognised my KJAM straight away.

When my IT group arrived I mentioned my problem with my XP Laptop and he said aha....... I had that problem I know how to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He went to Network Properties and there was a new connection in it but its properties where all UNCHECKED.

He checked them AND VOILA, Activesync burst into life and is syncing as I type..........

It seems a number of people at my company have had similar problems and it has been the same fix.

Robin

PS Thanks for all the help and support
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jorgee:
Stinky Phone?

YEHEY!!!

I guess it's not a smelly phone anymore :D

So how are you enjoying it so far?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Well it had really grown on me while I used it without syncing BUT now I can actually sync I am beginning to think it is almost my ideal phone.

Almost only because it is a bit slow at times responding and because there is so much software that is not yet WM5 compatible.

HOWEVER those things should change in time.

I just thought i would post this here in case people might need it

I saw this post by general1997 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20227868&postcount=1124

It explains perfectly how to do this but I thought i would add a few comments

I used hxd editor and selected file/open then navigated to the boot.img

Then edit/select block, start-offset=0, end-offset=7FF(hex) (length=800(hex)), right-click on highlighted block and delete (confirm delete)

Then search/find/00001F8B(Hex-values) and make sure there are loads of zeros above the found spot. If not found, try 0001F8B or 001F8B, if found but there are no zeros above it, use find again until found. The 1F8B will be at the start of the line and is the start of the ramdisk.

Then click on the end of the last row of zeros and then edit/select block, start-offset=0, then copy-and-paste the end-offset value to the length box (the highlighted block should not extend into the next row)

Then right-click on the highlighted block and select cut (confirm)

Then file/new right-click in the blank area and select paste insert

Then file/save as, navigate to somewhere and save as zImage

Then click on the boot.img tab in hxd, file/save as, navigate to somewhere same and save as initrd.gz

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fullerms:
Hi all,

I have noticed that my Galaxy S4 i9500 "loses" the ringtone settings after I bring it out of Silent or Vibrate mode. The notification bar will show that sound is "On", but the phone will not ring when there is an incoming call. When I check the sound settings, the ringtone will be "Silent". Everything will be ok for a few days after I manually set the ringtone again. And the problem comes back after a few days.

Happened on Android 4.2.2 and 4.3, so not sure if it is a OS issue. Btw, I am using my own ringtone in AAC format. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
